The packaging we use preserves the quality of our beer and keeps it safe for consumers' enjoyment. It is also integral to how we present our products to consumers. We need to select packaging that is fit for purpose while also taking account of its environmental impact from manufacture to disposal.
Packaging
We have a global sustainability packaging strategy that seeks to ensure a consistent and sustainable approach to the design, reuse and disposal of packaging. We use a variety of different packaging types and materials based on product need, consumer preference, the way that retailers sell our products and the existing recycling infrastructure. Where possible we use returnable bottles.
